[This Challenge is a "What If?" scenario regarding the Prologue Mission of Mass Effect 1]

Commander Shepard and his crew were assigned a mission on Eden Prime to accompany the Turian Spectre, Nihlus Kryik, to investigate and retrieve the mysterious Prothean Beacon, repel the Geth forces, and find more about the mysterious alien-looking ship that attacked the colony.

Unfortunately, Corporal Richard L. Jenkins was shot down by Geth troopers soon after the ground team lands on the surface. Unbeknownst to Commander Shepard and Lieutenant Alenko, Jenkins survived the shots, and was woken up by Dr. Warren and her assistant Manuel - a pair of scientists who helped excavate the Beacon. Jenkins is treated with medi-gel and put back on his feet.

The two scientists explained to the Corporal that there were still Geth in the area being drawn to the Beacon, and that Commander Shepard and his team were headed towards them. Despite not being fully healed, Jenkins knew that it was only a matter of time before the Commander was overwhelmed by Geth forces. Corporal Jenkins made a grim decision: with the help of the two scientists, he would make Eden Prime, his birthplace, his last stand.
